Try the claw of a no nail hammer ;D
Chip it off with a chisel and repair the damage .

Try heating it gently with a hot air gun Should scrape off easily (with a bit of luck) It works well for tile adhesive so may work on "no more nails" Cheers, Gazza. |

andy try nicking the wife/girlfriends nail varnish remover, or try buying some acetone. do it a little at a time. it is a chemical, so you need to utilise a chemical thing. maybe axminster have a remover. paul |

in my humble opinion the best you can do is to try and sheare it off at the weakest point
a spatula at r'angles to the face to rip it off the surface

Long bladed stanley Knife, you have to clean the blad every few cuts with Acetone.
Hacksaw blade, or if you have a reciprocating saw with a fine blade at very low speed. Very little damage to wall.

Never used no more nails, i presume its the same as gripfill?
If you cannot get a chemical de-activator or cleaner,and depending how high & how much is on the wall
I would use a floor scraper as you can get a fair amount of force behind them. or another alternative is the scraper with the stanley blades in

of course i could always recommend my friend in such circumstances, the fein, or bosch detail sanders. ;D i would use the diamond blade in my fein to do such a thing, but would still recommend the use of solvent first. paul |

thing about the fein is it allows you to think about doing things that are a pita, and it may well be simpler with it never let the labourer use it he will want paying for enjoying himself ;D paul |
